Regarding the Chargers (4-6)...four losses by three points and one by two...
36-34
27-24
20-17
41-38
23-20

It's been said when you lose a lot of close games...COACHING.
When the Vikings won close games last year it was said to be luck rather than good coaching.

I read on the Bears board that they had 40+ minutes of possession and 3+ turnovers and lost...first time that has happened since 1932...yeesh...that is some bad damn luck right there

Luck is involved to a degree, but I'm not going to tell a 13-4 NFL team that all those wins were from luck.

It's also been said a team that wins a lot of close games is Championship caliber. The '86 Giants (17-2) for example. 9-2 in games decided by 7 points or less.

The '90 Giants (16-3) were 7-2.
Ah, fond memories.

WTF, did Dan Snyder plant a bunch of future sabotage stuff too?

Probably. I guess there was an issue that the only way to fix it was to shut off the water to the entire stadium during the game and clearly they didn't want to do that

For a recently built stadium, that thing really is a POS....

Well you saw who the owner was sooo

Yes, he was a POS, so I guess it was fitting. I just read the wiki article on it, it's even worse than I thought....took seating from 91 to 58k and still have problems selling out...the new owners have some real work to do

It seems like with the Chargers that they're always down a key offensive player and defensive player and that gives them less margin for error than we would think. Joey Bosa has been banged up for 4 of the past 6 years. Mike Williams hasnt been able to stay healthy. Chargers draft a rookie WR and he drops a deep throw that might have been a Mike Williams TD in a different year. Chiefs played in week 1 against the Lions without Kelce or Chris Jones and lost a close. Yeah, having a franchise QB helps but you need your best players in there, too.
